About this Mod
Better Ping
A continuation of the beloved Better Ping Display mod, updated and maintained for modern Minecraft.
This client-side Fabric mod replaces Minecraft's ambiguous ping bars with actual numerical values, so you always know your exact connection quality at a glance.
Features
- See Your Real Ping - Exact millisecond values instead of vague signal bars
- Smart Color Coding - Automatic color-coding based on latency (green = smooth, red = laggy)
- Fully Customizable - Adjust colors, text format, and display preferences to match your style
- Works Everywhere - Client-side only, so it works on any server including vanilla
- Zero Bloat - Simple, focused, and lightweight
Why This Mod?
The original Better Ping Display was abandoned, leaving players without support for newer versions. Better Ping continues that legacy, keeping the mod alive and compatible with the latest Minecraft releases while staying true to its core purpose: giving you clear visibility of your connection.
Easy Configuration
Customize everything through betterpingdisplay.json:
- Toggle automatic color-coding
- Show or hide original ping bars
- Set custom text colors
- Define your own format (e.g.,
%dms,%d ping)

Better Ping server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Better Ping compatible with fabric?
Better Ping officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Better Ping – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Better Ping consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
